Movement Options Double Jump, Super Jump, 1 Airdash, Dash Type: Run Play-style Rushdown Team Role Any

Overview

Small, diminutive, and insane beyond all reason, "Kid" Buu represents Majin Buu's "pure" form before absorbing powerful fighters. Without any sense of morality (or any sense at all), this form represents Buu not necessarily at his strongest, but at his most dangerous, driven by nothing other than the desire to destroy. Thankfully, the universe would be spared his wrath by Goku, who destroyed him with a Spirit Bomb.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Kid Buu is an unpredictable combatant who can put his opponents off-balance with his long limbs and powerful special moves.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

Amazing neutral control with a beam that covers full screen, with his M and S normals being very powerful for denying approach options. Probably the best and most consistent mixup game: he has a command jump, a long blockstun special that he can move during, and the ability to do a triple overhead on a standing opponent outside of sparking. Has an anti-air throw, a rare asset in this game. All three of his assists are fantastic and have their own niche. Smaller than average hitbox makes him immune to Fuzzy Guard 50/50s.

Low damage overall. He is reliant on managing resources in order to optimize damage output. That being said, his mix makes his lack of damage virtually a non-issue. Terrible 2H, but 2M can be a strong substitute to catch opponents landing from the air. Level 3 super does not allow very good mixups off of the HKD. Dickhead (for real, you know what I mean)

Normal Moves

5L

5L Flex those 6 frames You can't escape R o u n d h o u s e

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5L It's a jab Pretty far range for a jab. It's a little more minus than most jabs, but it has high range to make up for it. 5LL Moves Kid Buu forwards Medium button in disguise 5LLL After a vanish, this L autocombo can be used to continue your combo similarly to Goku Black's L autocombo. There's really not much more to be said about this button. It's only situationally useful in combos, and it has very limited cancel options on block.

5M

5M Me stepping in to your DMs Wow! Kid Buu actually using his head for once!	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Pulls him forward about halfscreen. Second hit ground bounces on airborne opponents. This is Kid Buu's primary anti-reflect blockstring tool. It pulls him forward far enough to completely negate the effects of reflect, and it is also one of his most damaging combo starters.

5H

5H Just like all the others	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Mostly useful for the optimal corner combos or blockstring filler. Moves very far forwards. Smash wallbounce can sometimes be linked off of.

5S

5S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Fires a single Ki Blast across the screen. Pressing S again will make him throw his 2S afterwards. Good for pressure resets.

2L

2L Watch yo shins	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Kid Buu's primary mixup tool. Less range than 5L. Doesn't directly combos into 2M. The viable combo route is 2L > 5LL > 2M or 2L > 1M.

2M

2M U N G A

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 2M and 3M have initial proration. 1M doesn't. Each version has some tracking, but will only hit in a certain range. 1M is the fastest one, hits from directly in front of Buu to almost half screen. 2M, 3M have relatively the same speed, 2M tracks from Buu to just over half screen while 3M tracks from half screen to about 3/4 of the screen. All versions pull the opponent in on block or hit. On hit, 2M and its variations can combo into themselves up to 3 times, with each version can only be used once. The order of moves used is 3M > 2M > 1M, trying to input a move that has already been used and Kid Buu will perform the next available one in line. Using 2 or more stomps makes the move special-cancellable only.

2H

2H Kid Buu at the Andrew W.K concert.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Very bad horizontal hitbox, basically have to be touching the opponent if they are grounded. Vertical hitbox is pretty good, hits above Buu rather than in front. This move looks a little better than it really is. It is a grounded 2H, so you can cancel it into specials, but there really aren't any good options.

2S

2S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Jumps up and throws a Ki blast in an upward arc. At close range, will throw the Ki blast downward. 5SS will also execute this attack. Recovery is airdash cancelable Has stored landing recovery

6M

6M File:DBFZ KidBuu 6M.png The people's gummy elbow.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Universal overhead. Another mixup tool for a character brimming with them.

j.L

j.L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Hits crouchers more often than it's animation would suggest Because of it's speed and how j.M messes with your air momentum, this is usually the other part of your high-low mixups.

j.M

j.M File:DBFZ KidBuu jM.png Ya'll mind if I File:DBFZ KidBuu jM-2.png SWOOSE on in?	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Pulls him forward about halfscreen. An excellent air-to-air attack. First hit has a normal launch angle, second hit knocks the opponent down at a 60 degree angle. The first hit can reverse Gatling into j.L, the second can only chain into Heavies/Ki blasts

j.H

j.H The OTHER people's gummy elbow.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ [] is on Smash hit. Useful in mixups after j.M. Sometimes whiffs after j.M if it's used too close to the ground.

j.S

j.S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Halts Kid Buu's air momentum, useful for crossups. Has enough hitstun to combo into any of Kid Buu's air special moves or supers.

j.2H

j.2H Hello my baby, hello my honey	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Carries a lot of momentum. If smash hasn't been used, by delaying the super dash, Buu can switch sides with this move. Useful in non-Smash combos due to it's jump cancel properties.

Special Moves

Mystic Ball Attack

Mystic Ball Attack 236L/M/H (Air OK) Original move, do not steal.	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground L Air L Lands close to start point. Ground M Air M Will end further horizontally from the light version. Ground H Air H Will initiate a small bounce that can extend combos. Hits twice during the fall, but only once when he bounces up. Retains smash when used.

Mystic Arm Swing

Mystic Arm Swing 214L/M/H "YOU THOUGHT PICCOLO WAS THE ONLY STRETCHY SLAM MASTER??? FOOL"

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ L Immune to air attacks. Useful as an anti-air because you know 2H ain't doing squat. Results in a sliding knockdown. Combos from 5LLL and Stomps. M Immune to air attacks. Results in a ground bounce that can be comboed after. Too slow to combo into. H Immune to air attacks. Results in a ground bounce that can be comboed after. Often leads to more damage than Vanish in triple stomp confirms.

Candy Beam

Candy Beam 236S Neutral BAD	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Teleports to the opponent's position on hit, allowing you to easily combo into your Level 1 or Level 3 Super. Heals 400 blue health on Smash hit. Kid Buu is stuck until the beam hits something or the other side of the screen, not great for zoning.

Kamehameha

Kamehameha j.236S Neutral GOOD	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Using a Tiger Knee motion (2369) will allow you to use this move while close to the ground. A standard Kamehameha. Because it's air only, it's a little easier for opponents to duck under it.

Arm Ball

Arm Ball 214S "I knock you down you tech around, you block my low, I add the blow of this blitz. Putitn' on the mix!"	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ On hit or block, holds the opponent in place for a ridiculous amount of time. 5H > 214S when covered by an assist is your go-to blockstring extender.

Z Assists

Assist A

Arm Ball Assist A File:DBFZ KidBuu ArmBall.png Aah yes. The enabler.

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Good for pressure and lockdown. It has a good amount of startup but if you cover the startup with your point character doing a blockstring or another assist, Kid Buu's Arm Ball assist is very good for pressure because it'll lockdown the opponent for an extended period of time. This both frees up your point character to go for high/low mixups and makes converting opening an opponent up with a mixup into a full combo easier.

Assist B

Mystic Ball Attack Assist B	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ

Assist C

Kamehameha Assist C They gave him a beam	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ

Super Moves

Human Extinction Attack

Human Extinction Attack 236L+M or 236H+S "IM NOT SUPER BUU BUT SCREW IT I'LL DO IT ANYWAYS"

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Minimum damage: 90, 35*17, 100*11 (785) Fires a volley of beams into the air that fall down after a delay. At close range will pull the opponent up into the air and drop them down right next to Buu. 5 beams fall in front and 5 in the back, these will never hit the opponent if they were caught during the liftoff. 1 extra beam (the second to fall) tracks the opponent. Immediate DHC (before the attack itself starts) or delay DHC (once the opponent is knocked back to the ground) is necissary for horizontal supers

Pearl Flash

Pearl Flash j.236L+M or j.236H+S Nyoooooooooom	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Minimum damage: 805 Buu travels down to the ground before curving up, starting and ending in the air. If the opponent is hit in the first part of the arc, the hitstun is increased. Additionally, if the opponent is hit in midair, Buu will carry them to the ground.

Planet Burst

Planet Burst 214L+M or 214H+S (Air OK) "Just do what I do when I have problems:" "SCREAAAAAAAAAM!"	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground Air Minimum damage: 180, 1520 (1700) Freezes sparking recovery, good burst damage Mediocre okizeme, 214S setup is easily reflected/teched out of.
